4434Chemistry 125 - Learning Object Survey Instrumenthttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=671106
The Michigan Education through Learning Objects (MELO) project is a cross-disciplinary collaborative effort that has worked over the past three years to facilitate the integration of curriculum-based sequences of online learning objects (LOs) that complement classroom pedagogy in large enrollment gateway courses. MELO's goal is to enhance student learning, engagement, and persistence in college through the use of these learning objects. The materials represented in this collection are from the third year (MELO 3D) of the project. This award-winning project takes a unique approach to overcoming barriers to technology-enriched instruction by involving students (undergraduate and graduate) in addition to select faculty and staff from across different disciplines as key collaborators. By training select students and faculty to find, evaluate, adapt, create, and integrate LOs, the project facilitates the incorporation of high quality interdisciplinary and discipline-specific LOs into the curricula.The Open.Michigan collection serves as a central repository for materials created in association with the Michigan Education through Learning Objects project. The Materials tab contains training materials from the start of the projects, learning objects, survey instruments and conference abstracts from the project.Chemistry 216 - Learning Object Survey Instrumenthttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=671109

A multimedia object that allows you to sort atoms onto a periodic table to discover the trends in some of the properties of the elements. &nbsp;This simulation is written in HTML 5 and is accessible on mobile devices as well as most browsers. &nbsp;If you are having difficulties, try a different/newer browser.Virginia Science Activities, Models & Simulations (SAMS)http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=799915
The Virginia Science Activities, Models and Simulations project engages students in middle and high school in practices that are essential for learning science through inquiry. The activities involve asking questions or defining problems, using models or sensors, collecting data, interpreting results, using mathematics, technology and computational thinking, constructing explanations and designing solutions based on evidence.These activities, models and simulations are correlated to the 2010 Science Standards of Learning and Curriculum Framework and are also organized by standard as stand-alone tools.Chemical Reactions in Ziploc Bagshttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=294398
Students mix two powders and one liquid in a bag and record observations. Student groups collect information on ten different sets of reactants and share data with whole class. Groups then develop testable questions, design set of experimeints to answer their question, and then determine the answer to the question.Hands-on, Minds-on Periodic Table: Visualizing the Unseenhttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=294382
The periodic table is organized so elements are arranged in columns based on the number of valence (outer) electrons available for chemical reactions. Therefore, the elements in the columns have similar behavior.Occupational Safety and Health: Free, Open-Access Resourceshttp://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=929315
